Zoe Sugg, aka Zoella, is often cited as one of the biggest beauty YouTubers, gurus and bloggers in the world. 

The 27-year-old has been filming YouTube videos in her bedroom for the best part of a decade, but the lifestyle influencer actually started out on a much bigger screen. 

The makeup devotee was actually in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, which she has previously mentioned in videos.

'I was 10 when they first started filming for the first film, and my primary school is in the village they used,' the beauty guru wrote in a blog post.

'So they came and asked everyone in my year (which was probably about 7 children) if we wanted to be extras.'

'Of course we said yes. I was in Hufflepuff. The first year, we were used in Snape's potion class scene.'

'I am not seen in the film annoyingly, but its nice to know i was there. We also got to mingle with the cast, we watched spider man with them.'

The blogger goes on to reveal that Devon Murray, who plays Seamus Finnegan in the film series, asked her out, to which she politely declined.

'I was 10 years old and boys scared me,' she said, adding a 'haha.' 

'I was also in the second film…again..you cannot see me. I went to London to be on the Hogwarts express…which was so exciting.' 

So she has been to Hogwarts AND boasts the biggest channel on YouTube? No we're not jelly, you are.

Don't fancy going out this weekend? 

Well, the line-up for tomorrow's The Ray D'Arcy Show has been revealed and it looks like it's like we're in for a treat.

Tomorrow, the show returns for a third season, with a pretty epic line-up top boot.

On the first show of the new season, Girls Aloud star and recent winner of Celebrity Big Brother Sarah Harding will join Ray in studio.

Sarah will be discussing about her recent stint in the Big Brother house (we wonder if she will be mentioning her feud with Trisha Paytas?).

She will also be chatting about her time in Girls Aloud, as well as revealing what the future holds for her and her partner Chad Johnston.

 

A post shared by Kelsey Doyle (@kelseydoyle1) on

If you haven't yet heard about (or read) Oh My God What A Complete Aisling yet, then we must say, where have you been?

Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen, authors of the best selling book,  will join Ray to discuss their new book.

They will also be identifying and chatting to some "Aislings" in the audience.

There is also a treat in store for sporting fans. 

Also joining Ray on the couch are boxers Joe Ward and Bernard Dunne, who will discuss Joe's recent success at the world championship in Hamburg.

This and much more on The Ray D’Arcy Show this Saturday at 9:35pm on RTÉ One.

The March for Choice is kicking off next weekend, and while the most important thing is just to show up, we have been considering what we're going to wear. 

As well as being there, we want to show our support for the Abortion Rights Campaign by donating to the campaign, and making our pro-choice opinion visible through what we don on the day. 

Luckily, there has been a new drop of feminist, pro-choice merch online, and we're all about it. 

Uterus Prime was created in September 2016 by Dublin based architect and artist Rae Moore. 

The design is being utilised to raise awareness and funds for the Abortion Rights Campaign. 

The graphic design has a unique twist on an image of the female reproductive system, combining it with Transformers hero, Optimus Prime.

Uteris Prime fights for women's reporoductive rights, and believes that 'bodily autonomy is the right of all sentient beings.'

The 6th Annual March for Choice, takes place on Saturday the 30th of September, assembling at the Garden of Remembrance on Parnell Square from 1.30pm, before a march on Dáil Éireann at 2pm. (if you can't make it you can catch it on the SHEmazing social media on the day)

If you want to represent your stance through your clothing and want to donate to the Abortion Rights Campaign, these concept conscious pieces are an option. 

You can find them online here.

 Halloween is right around the corner (kind of) and thanks to stunning makeup looks popping up all over our Instagram, we're already thinking about what we want to go as this spooky season.

Whether you have your sights set on being a mermaid, vampire or Day of the Dead candy skull, these sets have you covered, and for a fraction of the price that gathering up all these separate face paint pieces would be.

When we think of Ireland's top bloggers, we often think of glamorous events, flawless makeup and a penchant for trendy clothes and a bouncy blowdry. 

It's not too often that we see influencers open up about their 'flaws' or issues, but Rosie Connolly, winner of the Most Stylish Influencer award at the SHEmazing Awards, is opening up to her community of followers about her struggle with her skin. 

Rosie shared a new bare-faced photo of herself to tell her followers to embarce themselves and not allow their percieved flaws to take a toll on their confidence. 

 

A post shared by Rosie Connolly (@rosieconxxx) on

'Laying it all on the table… my skin, unfiltered, no makeup, no products. I've suffered from acne since I was about 18 and have gone through every product, every medication and every remedy you can think of.'

'Some worked, most didn't, but right now nothing is healing it. It's painful, inflamed, irritated and is of course taking its toll on my confidence. Why am I posting it here for the world to see?? Well, I'm 27, happily engaged with a gorgeous little boy, amazing friends and family, living a life I love, but I STILL get so hung up on my skin and allow it to get me down, change my mood and batter my self esteem.'

'So I can only imagine how much harder it would of been for me if I was a teen growing up now with acne.'

'So many flawless pictures all over social media lead you to believe that you're the only one who's suffering or "flawed,"' she said. 

 

A post shared by Rosie Connolly (@rosieconxxx) on

'It shocks me to hear how many people have felt so ashamed of their skin problems, young or old.'

'Do I want to show my skin like this….? Hell no! But does it change me as a person… absolutely not. My skin issues do not define me, they do not make me "ugly", they are nothing to be ashamed of and for that reason, I'm sharing with you all.'

'If it helps just ONE person to accept themselves for who they are, "flaws" and all, then it was worth it,' she finished, showing her support for her followers. 

 

A post shared by Rosie Connolly (@rosieconxxx) on

This isn't the forst time Rosie has shared a candid snap of herself sans makeup. 

The blogger previously shared a selfie using the hashtags #EmbraceTourFlaws to encourgae her followers to be comfortable in thier own skin. 

Her posts, which pop up on our Insta feeds among the Facetuned visages of others, are a welcome relief from the perfectionist attitude which grips the social media site. 

'As a result of acne I have been depressed with low self esteem,' reads one comment.

'It's not easy being authentic in a superficial society. Thank you for this post & for helping us sufferers. It truly helps.'

We have to commend the blogger on her honest post that's sure to help so many of her 149,000 followers.

Make of this information what you will, but according to new research, if you have a brother, you’re less likely to earn a high income.

Yep, according to researchers at Cornell University, your male siblings could be to blame for your low pay packet.

Researchers Angela Cools and Eleonora Patacchini found that women who had a brother or brothers had a 10 percent lower income than the average woman in her late 20s or early 30s.

However, if a woman had no brothers, the overall gender pay gap would likely be five percent smaller.

The researchers say: 'Siblings may affect each other indirectly, by changing parents’ investments or expectations for a particular child.'

'Siblings may also affect each other directly through their interactions with each other.'

Researchers believe this pay gap difference can be attributed to the fact that women with brothers tend to be more family-oriented and prioritise being in a committed relationship than those who have only sisters or no siblings.

Apparently, those who have brothers also tend to express more interest in having a family, also.

'We find that women with brothers have more traditional gender roles and family responsibilities,' an excerpt from the study explained.

Now we're not so sure if having male siblings influences our likelihood of having 'traditional values,' but the researchers examined a number of other factors.

These included differences in parental investment, cognitive abilities, parental expectations, or personality traits – but found no evidence that any of these contributed to the wage gap.

Despite the efforts to narrow the gender pay gap, researchers say women continue to earn less than men on both an annual and weekly basis.

Researchers say these findings could be crucial in narrowing the pay gap between men and women.

'By examining the role of sibling gender composition on women’s wages, we show that exogenous changes in family environments can lead women to adopt less sex-typed attitudes and behaviours, potentially reducing earnings gaps between men and women later in life,' the study reads.

We’re a bit disheartened to learn our beloved brothers might be the reason why we aren’t making the big bucks!

Scott Disick is reported to be dating 19-year-old model Sofia Richie. 

The pair were spotted reclining and strolling on a beach in Florida this week.

The new couple stole a kiss, which was captured by paps at the scene.

A source told The Sun: 'Kourtney is done with Scott – she finds his behaviour embarrassing.'

'She’s totally over it and can’t help but be furious with him. Why is he hanging around with teenage girls?'

'We have unearthed some brilliant performers on our previous trips around Ireland but I'm absolutely positive that there are still some real gems to be discovered.'

Down through the years, The Late Late Toy Show has been defined by the wonderful young people who have been involved.

Who could forget rapping farmer Fionn, John Joe the horologist, and Domhnall meeting his idol Robbie Keane?

 Not to mention the moment that Ed Sheeran surprised 11-year-old Aimee Keogh, leaving her (and the audience) speechless?

What does Chrissy Teigen do when she needs a grocery item?

Well she takes to Twitter to alert her legions of fans, of course.

The model was on the hunt for a bunch of bananas last night, and rather than venturing out to the shops, she relied on her 7.5 million followers to come to her aid.

Chrissy promised a pair of her husband John Legend's underwear, a signed cookbook and a Becca highlighting palette to the follower who could get her the bananas the quickest (the gal was clearly gasping for a slice of banana bread).

When asked if he was in on the distribution of his underwear as a prize, John tweeted: 'Yes and I approve. Can't make banana bread without brown bananas.'

Follower Meg Zukin had the goods, and so was chosen to make the swap, despite being one banana short of the requested amount.

Meg drove to meet Chrissy's assistant to make the swap. 

However, there was one condition on the exchange. 

Chrissy tweeted that on the request of her assistant, the fan must sample a small piece of the bananas in front of her assistant, for Chrissy's safety, on the off chance the fan was some kind of poisoner. 

The bananas then made their way to the model's mansion in mega quick time, to fulfil their destiny of becoming Chrissy Teigen's banana bread, as evidenced by a follow-up picture of Chrissy's assistant arriving with the goods. 

However, this snap raised further, non-banana related questions. 

Fans were quick to point out that Chrissy and John's dog was inexplicably dressed up as a bell hop.

To this Chrissy simply said: 'Don't ask.'

Just another day in Celebland…
